Just came back from Geek Squad and installing a powered (Bazooka) subwoofer was a no go. Something about not strong enough of signal from the back speakers to move the woofer. Tried to install a back up sensor and also a no go unless he drilled some holes on the sheet metal. No thank you. The only thing I was able to do was change the rear speakers and the difference wasn't that great. The current speakers are pretty good quality. Crap.

Corporate geeks tend to be that way. He said that the head unit was only pushing 3.6 ohms, allegedly not enough to feed the powered bazooka. If your geek thinks my geek is full of BS please let me know and I'll find another geek.

If your speakers are 3.6 ohm, that sounds perfectly normal for car audio but "pushing 3.6 ohms" is a statement that means nothing.

Your geek is bunk.

A couple of my geeks graduated from the Stanford university electronic music program (more about electronics than music) so brain surgery on a factory head unit is one of the less challenging things they can do.

Pro tip: good geeks don't work at big box stores.

I'd love to continue this anti establishment rant but could your Stanford geeks provide any tips I can pass on to my underground Dominican Papis regarding installing this Bazooka.
